11/30/2009 CrittersWork Update

Coming in February!

GreenePets will be sponsoring a seminar for rescue volunteers to assist us in pre-screening potential service dogs in area rescues!

If you have served with the rescue you are volunteering at for three years, you are eligible to apply to attend this multiple week-end seminar. Our methods for pre-screening the potential service dog are intense, and the seminar will last from one to three days, and most likely cover at least two weekends.

CrittersWork will be pulling dogs for training as potential service dogs from rescues we are working with. These dogs are the beautiful long term pets who are constantly passed over in favor of younger and smaller pets. We will only select our candidates from long term adult dogs.

If your rescue would like to participate in our programs, please contact us through our email address for more information. We are not out to encroach on your volunteer base, we are working for those long term dogs and assisting all in finding them homes as working dogs.

Please email volunteerinfo@critterswork.org for more information.


CrittersWork Update

The GreenePets, CrittersWork partnership's volunteers are actively working with our long term pets in basic training. Some of these dogs will go on to become service dogs in one aspect or another. Mostly as sound alert dogs. Sound alert dogs partner with the hearing impaired person and alert the person to important sounds in their environment, such as the door bell, telephone, smoke alarm, someone calling the person's name, the microwave etc. To qualify for one of these sound alerting dogs, the prospective partner must go through a vigourous application process, and after the dog is matched to the person, there is a two week training process that is conducted at All Creatures Country Club's training center. This training process teaches the person how to work with the dog, and most important of all, how to care for their new helpmate.

Our Newest Affiliation

CrittersWork Service Dog Partners, Inc. is a newly formed nonprofit service dog training organization. We will be locating, pre-screening rescue dogs from participating area rescues, animal controls and humane societies for training as life partners to the disabled. If you would be interested in participating in our program, please contact us!

CrittersWork & GreenePets both are in Need of Volunteers

CrittersWork and GreenePets both need volunteers to work with our dogs, and in home foster programs.

Our Puppy Raiser program requires that the dog live with you from four to sixteen months, while you socialize, house train, and basic obedience train. Puppy Raisers are required to attend one monthly training session at our training center, these sessions introduce the puppy raiser to basic training skills, as well as keeping an ongoing assessment of the abilities of the dog being fostered. If you are interested in making a wonderful progressive change in not only the life of the dog being rescued, but the disabled person who will benefit by the skills this dog will later possess, please contact us. Volunteers are desperately needed.

Our Featured Pet...


This is our own Trixie. Trixie has been with us most of her life. She was found with the rest of her litter in a barn in South Greene County, as a tiny puppy. She was so tiny when first discovered, that the litter remained at the barn so the ferral parents would return and care for the puppies until they were weaned. We were never able to capture the parents, but except for Trixie, every other pup was finally found a forever home.

We think it is Trixies' turn for a home of her own. She adores men especially, and older people are at the top of her list, though she appears to like children as well. Anyone who is willing to give her a kind word is tops on her list.

Won't you be her person? Give us a call today 423-552-1416. Ask for Trixie, you will surely be glad you did when you meet her!
